Topic 1 : Hobby
Cooking is my favorite hobby. My grandmother taught me how to cook my first dish when I was 8. My family enjoyed it so much so that is when I started this hobby. Some people say cooking is a waste of time but I find this hobby very interesting and meaningful. I really love trying new food and cooking for my family. The feeling of making my family happy with my food is amazing. I often collect recipes from my mother and my grandmother. Sometimes I also get recipes from the internet. Then I write them in a notebook. I hope I will become a good chef and have my own cookery book in the future.
Topic 1 : Hobby
I have an unusual hobby: carving eggshells. I started this hobby four years ago after getting a carved egg from my dad when he came back from Japan. It's amazing that something as fragile as an empty eggshell can be made into such a beautiful piece of art. I was so amazed that I learned how to carve them myself from the internet. I find carving eggshells a little difficult but so interesting and useful. The feeling of accomplishment when I finish a piece is absolutely awesome. This hobby also helps me be more patient and careful.
Topic 2 : Health
Everyone needs different amounts of energy per day depending on age, size and activity levels. An athlete needs more calories than an office worker. To stay in shape, an average adult requires at least 1,800 calories per day (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). If we eat just the number of calories our body needs each day, we will probably be healthy. However, eating too much can make you put on weight. To lose weight, eat fewer calories than your body burns each day.
Topic 3 : Community
My family spends one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish or planting trees in our neighbourhood. We are not forced or paid to do it, but we enjoy it. In our village, most families volunteer to do this once a month. We cook and give food to patients in some hospitals. My parents also donate their blood once or twice a year to help sick people. At the end of each year, people in my village raise money for poor and homeless people. We love helping others.
Topic 3 : Community
I want to provide food, clothes and blankets for street children. I want to do it because I want to share the things I have with children who are in need. I hope no child will be hungry and cold. I will cook food and bring it to street children on the weekends. I will also encourage my friends to donate clothes and blankets to them
Topic 4 : Music and arts
Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique folk art. It's said that ‘Not watching a performance of water puppetry means not visiting Vietnam yet.' That's why water puppetry is a must-see show for tourists in Vietnam. Watching this show can help you escape from your busy life and refresh your minds with unforgettable moments.
During the shows, you can only see the puppets and a small folk orchestra of about 7 people; the puppeteers stand behind a curtained backdrop in a pool. All puppets are made of fig wood which goes along well with water. Then they are carved and painted. The themes of the shows are very familiar to Vietnamese people. They focus on the daily life of farmers and common aspects of Vietnamese spiritual life.
Vietnamese water puppetry has been introduced to many countries all over the world and received much love from audiences. Foreigners don't understand Vietnamese, but they enjoy the shows because the puppets clearly demonstrate Vietnamese life and culture through their actions. Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre on Dinh Tien Hoang Street near Hoan Kiem Lake is the most popular theatre for water puppetry.
Topic 5: Vietnamese food and dink
Pho, one of the most popular traditional dishes in Vietnam, can be found everywhere - from humble street stalls to classy hotels. Rice noodles are served in a bowl of beef or chicken broth, with thin slices of beef or chicken and herbs or green onions. Pho is often accompanied by sliced lime, fresh red chilies, bean sprouts, and chili sauce. There is a saying "Don't say you have been to Hanoi if you haven't tried Pho".
